I'm the leader of the 8-11 year old Activity Day Girls program at my church. We meet twice a month and make crafts, do service projects or activities, and form friendships.

During the Christmas season I always try my best to focus on the real meaning of Christmas so I wanted to do an activity with the girls during the month of December that reflected that. I thought this nativity I found at Learning To Be Me was beautiful and really loved the simplistic look. It was also simple enough that our group could finish it in one night.

I was able to pick up all my supplies at Hobby Lobby.

Supplies:

Ball knob 1 1/4"

Rectangle 2 3/8" x 1 1/2" x 3/16"

Furniture button 1/2"

1" x 5" wood block

1" x 4" wood block

Paint colors of choice

Glue

Twine

This is all you need for one nativity.

After letting a quick coat of paint dry, I glued the pieces together using some tacky glue and tied around a piece of twine. Simple and lovely.

This is a great gift to make for family and friends and it's simple enough that you can easily whip up several at once. It's also simple enough to make with your kids, or better yet have your kids make them as gifts.

I LOVE this idea. We don't have a nativity yet, but I'm 99% sure this will be adorning our house in some way this season. How do you think it would work as an ornament? We hold Jesus birthday parties on the 25th and always make ornaments as momentos. I'm thinking that these could be perfect for the ornaments this year, if I glue/staple ribbon to the back. Would they be too heavy?

How beautiful! I love nativities =) I'd love it if you stopped by my blog and shared this at my new linky party!http://accidentallywonderful.blogspot.com/2012/11/now-co-hosting-inspiration-spotlight.html

Hey Amy its Deonna from Child at Heart! This is SO great. I am teaching about the birth of Jesus this week in bible class and I might just have to make this with the kids too. They would love to be able to take something like this home! Thank you! Pinning this!
